Ports, Harbours, Platforms and Offshore construction vessels

• Tracking Systems - Integrated Coastal and Harbour Surveillance system. The mission of the system is to provide a full situational awareness of the coverage area. The surveillance sensors are Radars, AIS, thermal cameras and LRAD (Long range aquatic Devices). The sensors do detection, monitoring and classification of all cooperative and non-co-operative targets and alarms are produced if the dangerous target enters the guard zone. The collected data is processed by the specially designed radar processors that use MS Windows and are customer tailored. The real time situation is connected from the processor to the digital displays in the control room via LAN.
  The antenna RPM of the surveillance and small target detection Radar is 40-80 RPM thus the detection of targets as small as a swimmer or small boat is also done.
